Beste Pien, bedankt voor je verhaal. Wij vinden een persoonlijk verhaal helemaal geen tijdverspilling hoor. We hopen juist dat meer collega's delen over wat zo fijn is aan en fietsen of wat jij belangrijk vindt van fietsen naar je werk bijvoorbeeld. We zijn blij dat je fietst en liever fietst dan schrijft! Natuurlijk verdien jij met jouw verhaal deze maand een paar kekke sokken. Wil je mij per e-mail laten weten, naar welk adres we je de sokken kunnen sturen via: [address removed] --&gt; Gefeliciteerd! groetjes van Mirjam de Boer namens Fiets je Fris
